pervert, make crooked (Hifil/Piel causative); be bent over, twisted (Nifal passive/stative)
2. be bent over, twisted (Nifal passive/stative) — Nifal stem expressing the passive or resultative state of being bent, bowed, or twisted, whether physically or morally. Spanish 'estoy encorvado/fui torcido/y perverso de,' Hindi 'tedha ho gaya hun/mud gaya main/aur tedha,' Arabic 'inhanaytu/mu'wajju,' Korean 'gupeotdoda/gubureojeossini/geureona gupeun,' Swahili 'nimeinama/nimepinduka/lakini mwenye upotovu wa.' The passive/reflexive Nifal marks this as a distinct sense from the active causative forms. 3×
